By Jessica Wedemeyer

With the final chapter of the "Twilight" saga just around the corner, the film's stars gathered in Los Angeles to promote "Breaking Dawn – Part 2" in a series of individual press conferences. (So, no, Rob and Kristen still have not made their first official public appearance!) The cast -- minus Ashley Greene and Peter Facinelli, who were stranded on the East Coast in the wake of Hurricane Sandy -- opened up about the lifelong friendships they share, their craziest fan encounters, and saying goodbye to their "Twilight" family. Click through to see what Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz, and more of the saga's stars had to say!

Kristen Stewart on the props she couldn't let go of:

"I kept [Bella's] rings. The rings are really important to me. Her mother gives her a moon ring in the beginning. It fully and completely reminds me of ["Twilight" director] Catherine Hardwicke every time I look at it. I have [Bella's engagement ring] too. I held onto that one. … That was probably it: the rings. But those are really, really extremely important to me."
